Vancouver police are reminding residents to lock their ******* and doors at night after ******rs arrested a man for two break-ins earlier this month. The man allegedly broke into two homes around 3 a.m. on July 2 and July 9 near West 25th Avenue and Dunbar Street, according to police. police say he climbed into both houses through open *******. People were sleeping in their beds when the thief broke in on July 9. â??We are again reminding the public that many thieves are opportunists,â?* said said Const. Jason Doucette in a written statement. â??An open door or window, including above the ground floor, can be used by criminals anytime of the day â?? even if you are home.â?* This kind of crime is preventable, he added. â??Something as simple as making sure your ******* and doors are locked can stop a thief.â?* police arrested 34-year old Todd Edward Stephens Thursday in connection with the two break-ins. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday. residents who want to discourage crime in their neighbourhood can join Block Watch.
